Lukaku was just as impressive. The 22-year-old was the Premier League’s top goal scorer in November with five goals. The Belgian had 17 shots, with 75 per cent on target. He completed 82 per cent of his attempted dribbles, created six chances and registered two assists. While his passing accuracy averaged 80 per cent.
